Galette des rois 2019 with AFSeattle & UFE

Join the Alliance Française de Seattle and the Union des Français à l’Etranger (UFE) to celebrate the Epiphany and its traditional Galette des rois!

A French Christian tradition dating back to the 14th century, the galette des rois originated in Roman times as a pagan custom during the festival of the winter solstice. A presentation on the origins and history of the galette will be given at the event – come find out more!

The galettes will be provided by French Bakery La Parisienne for an authentic experience. As the tradition goes, a charm (fève) will be hidden in each galette, and the lucky one to find it will become queen or king for the day.
